Garden Tomato

The single surviving tomato tree is producing good harvest. I have learned that I need to pick up the fruits earlier - cannot leave it ripe on the tree for it will go bad fast...


Any more ripe than this will spoil the fruit. So I have to pluck the fruit earlier and leave it to ripe off the tree.


MashaAllah, la kuwwata illabillah... Allah, Tuhan yang menumbuhkan dari tanah. Dari mati (tiada) kepada hidup dan mati semula... (dan hidup semula...)

Papaya Pt II

The papaya trees went through severe torture when growing up, to the suspected mousedeer who loves the shoots. Although some of the trees survive, but not without scars. Now almost all the trees, each producing sizeable fruits of different shapes (oblong or rounded). The flesh are of 2 shades, either orange or red. I personally prefer the orange colored, for although both are equally sweet; the orange colored flesh texture is usually finer.


Sooo thin...



But they survive for now…

One of the rare, isolated trees that survive the attacks, growing healthier.

At Last, the Dragon Moves

After many months of staring at the static saplings, finally the dragon fruit trees started branching out...

Yayyy!

How Many Kids do You Think She has?

I stumbled upon a colony of new hatchlings of a (suspected) spider.The baby spiders are hundreds in numbers. But who knows how many survived into adulthood?

Count it for yourself!

How many will survive? Only Allah knows.

Cannot get any closer than this - so you just have to make do whith this shot....

...in the Meantime...

The rambutans grow about 1-2 ft taller



...but the durian remained almost unchanged.



...the ubi lengkuas was badly damaged by Cik B and struggling to survive. I decided to move the remaining roots near to the hut within our view, and it looks much more happier there. Sorry Hajah, need to wait a while longer for the "ubi"... hehehehe...

Progress Report - Apr 09

Been busy lately, and expecting to be busier in time to come... The farm is sort of neglected. But life goes on... Here is the progress report todate:

The new batch of stela - expecting for Aug/Sep harvest... or delay it a bit longer till after Eid?

The angled bean never stop producing... Alhamdulillah....

The tapioca in one corner - also expected harvest similar to the stelas... If it can last that long, for 2 days after this picture is captured, a strong wind has flatten a few trees.

The banana trees grow very well in the farm and started producing saplings - no fruit yet la! The sugarcane trees grow not as healthy, as I mentioned earlier the roots are not strong due to the white ants attack. But look at the grass!!! Hahahaha no time to "melerah" la....

Lemongrass - the most sturdy and care free plant...

The regular size tomato tree started bearing fruit - Alas! but one tree only survived, the rest of the batch saplings didn't survive the grasshoppers' attack.
